Beau Brummels - Just A Little (1965)

Ron Elliot was sick when the Brummels made this appearance so watch who fills in.

[@QrystalQlear]

The Beau Brummels were a highly under rated band! I remember this wonderful song!

[@Lee-of6hb]

Did you know Slyvester Stewart(Sly Stone) produced Laugh Laugh ?

[@setnsun21]

Used to love listening to this album when I was a kid. Good tunes.

[@silversurfer100]

A very simple but truly great song. I still like it this many years later.

[@luiscalcano4359]

Tune is classic , and I remember this on Mike Douglas that came on 4pm(I think) on channel 3 in Philadelphia, Pa.

[@BarbaraSadowski]

Geez I remember this song. What was I …14. Now i am 71. Love the old days.

Ed Ames, who stepped in with his 'Mingo' wig on, was also a vocalist of renown at that time as a family member of the Ames Brothers singing group (cf).

Yes, and Ed Ames also played Mingo on Daniel Boone TV series.

[@thisistheworldtoday]

The Beau Brummell song got into r&r hall of fame as being first to influence the SF sound

[@majovijapajo]

They lived right down the street from us on Moneta way. My sister and her crazy friends were their personal fan club

[@pgh45rpms]

Ron Elliott was diabetic and his blood sugar levels posed problems while touring with the band. Restaurant food was not diabetic-friendly and was geared for general diet. Nice to see the Brummels fulfill their commitment on the Mike Douglas Show. It was a popular daytime syndicated tv show that gave them good exposure in 1965. They took the ribbing very well from Mike, Ed Ames and Pearl Bailey.

[@elftails]

pgh45rpms Thank you for sharing Ron Elliott’s story, I had no idea. But have since learned that he suffered from seizures due to the diabetic condition you speak of. Very happy to learn that he’s well and still composing. Hopefully by now restaurants are diabetic-friendly!

That you for sharing thus video I’ve never seen. Beau Brummells were a great group, and Mike Douglas did appreciate good quality music. Moby Grape appearance another fine piece of musical history. Wish we had more. Thanks again you made my day.

[@patrickryan1515]

Ed Ames made a very attractive looking Indian. Mike Douglas looked like Bob Hope in drag. Pearl Bailey was her usual gracious self. Totally fun way to bridge the generation gap. BTW The Beau Brummels' had a couple of really fine hits -- Great Sound!

[@davidcoyle1084]

There's a video out there of Bob Hope and Jack Benny doing a skit with the Beach Boys, and Bob in his wig looks just like Mike Douglas does here, LOL

THAT WAS GREAT! To see Ed Ames(Mingo from"Daniel Boon") on that show! As well as Sal Valentino and the rest! GOOD JOB!

This video is hilarious, especially seeing Mike & Ed hamming it up with these guys! Air date June 16, 1965.

[@drrjim]

Good sports for sure. And a great song. Drummer (tall guy) John Peterson went on to be in local band in my home town of Santa Cruz Harper's Bizarre

[@pjriverdale8461]

From the old KYW Philadelphia studios on Broad St. Douglas' show was in the basement studio with about a 200 seat capacity. KYW at that time was a converted radio facility. The Douglas show was a Westinghouse production first originating from Cleveland and later moved to Philadelphia. It was likely the last national show to be produced in Philadelphia or for that matter, Cleveland.

[@oldiesgeek454]

Interesting, thanks for sharing that. How far was this studio from the one where American Bandstand was shot?

[@garytorresani8846]

Bandstand was in the WFIL studios at 30th and market in west Philly. The Douglas show was in the old KYW studios on broad street.

Oh my gosh, such memories. Love this song and many more performed. Will blast if ever in car!

Fascinating. I attended Oakland High for a couple of years in the 1970s. I love the Beau Brummels and had no idea they had an Oakland High connection.

[@tomruggiero8414]

people had fun back then

[@oldiesgeek454]

Mike Douglas I'm sure was not a fan of 60s music. However, he was a good sport in this clip. I always liked Mike.

[@JFF35753]

You are right Tom. Maybe in 1970 when the Beatles broke up the fun broke up too??? There is no fun today with the PC crowd on patrol.

No doubt Tom. Miss them days.

This is Sal singing live along with the studio recording. Sometimes the instrumental tracks only would be provided and the vocalists would sing live over it. But that's not the case here. I don't think Ron and John are seriously attempting any backing vocals.

[@jacquelinesaxena1036]

PC doesn't offend.It indicates staying open to a group, instead of being closed off like nazis. Hence, friends don't need it or anyone with common understanding. PC role is to offer protection, because racists attack so much. No one minds another culture adorning Indian nose piercings; sarongs, jewelry, henna or pants they invented. Focus on the truth for a change. Minorities dislike racists who must "adopt" their styles to make it acceptable. Yet, the same style is still hate inducing for minorities.Also, racists don't mind if non-racists wear cross-cultural attire. So, the public knew about this "subtle" racism that gets people beat up around the clock somewhere. Indian clothing is renamed french fashion, to give no credit to minorities, and to give low heed to presumably "low" minorities, in order to serve the racist masses too. This was the crude standard that made blacks stand up against having black hair being "fashion" for caucasians, but "dirty" Still, they expected people they roasted, for wearing dreadlocks, to show understanding or commonality, and help to become peacemakers, but they refused. Instead, they made sure to stick with the "olden rule" to pretend they owned it. This is how it became muddled. Yet, the clarity remained, and they won. Aside, inventions, fashion and music, were meant to spread around. Inventors were special and have nothing to do with the rest of their group that invented nothing. They expect to sell music etc everywhere. Just make sure to like "your" version, btu not deny that blacks had something to do with it for the sake of pretending it's "yours", and feigning "building" everything to attack long time minorities and Natives.

[@tommylitz4543]

Mike Douglas' guests on the show were Ed Ames and Pearl Bailey, with special musical guest The Beau Brummels. They pre-rehearsed this lttle adlib after Elliot informed the group that he couldnt make the gig. Mike Douglas was always hamming it up, upstaging his guests and butchering their acts, which were usually lip-synced prerecorded numbers anyways. Douglas would sometimes do his own solo singing spots when he needed to stretch the show for time, botching the popular tunes of the day. Merv Griffen did the same crap on his show, whenever a guest called out as a no-show.

[@davidcoyle1084]

Ed Ames played an Indian named Mingo on a TV show called "Daniel Boone" at the time.

@user-dc6mg2rk8p he was in his trademark character. He played Daniel Boone's very popular half-Cherokee sidekick named "Mingo" on that TV show. He did skits and such when promoting that show on the talk show circuit, and also would often display his prowess at throwing tomahawks. But in real life, Ames was a Ukrainian Jew.
